To Assist in Your Preparation, Please Be Aware of the Following Important Information

Continental Capers Travel Center, Inc. and Voyages of Discovery tours (hereafter referred collectively as Continental Capers) may involve walking in variable weather, climbing stairs, getting on and off transportation conveyances, and occasionally carrying your own baggage. Some trips may involve crossing hilly, uneven terrain. Sleeping accommodations, dining halls, etc., differ from site to site. Meals included in programs commonly consist of local foods prepared according to local tastes.

If you become ill or are injured, the Tour Operator staff will make every reasonable effort to find medical help. Therefore, it is important that you advise them of any problem when it first arises. Should you become seriously ill or unable to participate in the program for any reason, arrangements will be made to return you home as safely as circumstances allow. Individuals with disabilities are asked to declare and describe in advance their specific conditions or circumstances that require special accommodations or arrangements.

TRIP INSURANCE: Due to the high cancellation penalties and other risks of loss, we strongly recommend trip insurance to cover losses due to trip cancellation, trip delay, trip interruption, luggage loss, personal injury, death, accidents, default or bankruptcy of a supplier, or other contingencies. In order to guarantee maximum coverage under your policy, coverage should be purchased at the time of your first payment. By purchasing insurance coverage through our office, you affirm that you fully understand the terms and limitations of the policy. You also affirm that no additional coverage or protection has been offered either explicitly or implicitly by Continental Capers Travel Center, Inc., its employees, directors, agents or independent contractors. Please contact Continental Capers with any questions regarding insurance coverage or details.

It is recommended that tour participants do not bring expensive jewelry or like possessions with them. Telescopes and observation equipment should be securely packed; insurance on expensive items is highly recommended. Continental Capers or any of its representatives or contractors are not liable for loss/damage of any personal effects.

BAGGAGE HANDLING: Consult the TSA web site and your airline for regulations and restrictions on what is currently allowed to be carried onto aircraft. Also, due to constantly changing airline limitations, we advise all participants to verify baggage allowances directly with the airlines. Excess baggage can be checked at the tour participant's own expense.

LAND AND TOUR COSTS: Tour prices are based upon costs in effect at time of printing of the material and are subject to change at any time due to increases in rates for group services, lodging and meals, government taxes, currency fluctuations, or other factors not under our control. Land and tour cost increases will be the responsibility of individual travelers.

PASSPORTS AND VISAS: United States citizens are required to have a valid PASSPORT. Your passport must have at least six months validity left on it from your return date of travel. Citizens of other countries must make their nationalities known immediately to Continental Capers and are responsible for obtaining proper documentation to enter the U.S. and any other countries where tour options are involved. Please check with your travel consultant regarding the most recent passport and visa requirements and associated fees for the countries being visited. We will attempt to inform all travelers of any changes to such requirements. However, all travelers should check with appropriate consulates to determine any specific rules that may apply to them.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: We strongly urge travelers to check with their personal physicians or local health board for suggestions regarding the countries that you will be visiting. Certain vaccinations or health certifications may be required or recommended. Please ask your travel consultant for additional details. Guests should also be aware that stomach upsets can result if one is not careful. Washing hands frequently and eating hot, cooked foods, and fruits that you peel, is recommended. Like most developed countries like the U.S., tap water in Australia is usually safe to drink.

CLIMATE: Australia lies approximately between latitudes 11° south to 39° south if one excludes Tasmania off the southeastern coast. (In the Northern Hemisphere this range is roughly equivalent to latitudes from Cincinnati to Costa Rica.) Because Australia lies in the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere. Our 2012 Australia tour will occur in November, about two-thirds of the way into fall in the Northern Hemisphere but two-thirds of the way into spring in Australia.

Although the climate of the Australian varies greatly across the continent, strong extremes of weather are uncommon. Climate ranges from tropical in the north to temperate in the south. In the northeast, such as Queensland, rain forests and savannahs dominate. Here we find distinct wet and dry seasons— wetter from November to April and drier from May to October. The climate is generally hot and humid but short dry summers and dry winters are the rule. Parts of Queensland average annual rainfall can exceeds 100 in (2,500 mm) but on the fringe of the monsoonal region are drier savanna grasslands.

The November eclipse comes early in the rainy monsoon season so cloud cover is not so heavy as in following months, and there are fair prospects for a sunny day on eclipse morning. Expect warm temperatures around the low 80s F (upper 20s C) with humidity somewhat high, typically around 80 percent at eclipse time.

In the southeast the climate is more mild but still often humid with no real dry season. Since southern states are exposed to hot, dry winds from the interior, temperature can sometimes suddenly rise considerably.

Average temperatures and rainfall for the three principal areas visited on our 2012 Australia Eclipse tours follows.

Cairns, on the northeast coast, has a November average minimum and maximum of 72°F and 86°F (22°C and 30°C ) respectively. Rain occurs on an average of about nine days.

Sydney, on the southern part of the east coast, has a November average minimum and maximum of 60°F and 73°F (15°C and 23°C ) respectively. Rain occurs on an average of about six days.

Adelaide City, on the eastern part of the south coast, can get cooler and has a November average minimum and maximum of 56°F and 74°F (13°C and 23°C) respectively. Rain occurs on an average of about four days.

SMOKING POLICY: Smoking is prohibited on our tour buses, observation site and in briefing/lecture rooms.

TRAVELERS WHO HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS OR NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE: Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to us at the time of booking. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled participants, but we are not responsible for any denial of service by guides, carriers, lodges, hotels, restaurants or other independent suppliers. We regret we cannot provide individual assistance to tour members for walking, dining, and getting on or off motor coaches or other transportation vehicles.
